I thought with the new color added to my workshop I should update the Kirby lamp over the workbench. I had it originally done with grey trim, but now with the black paint on the cabinet framing it would look better in black trim. I used a Kirby 2C nozzle and belt cap, with a new replacement...

Well my family came out to make my dream come true. I only had one thing on my bucket list and that was to get all of my 6 grandkids together at the same time. So they came out to celebrate the 4th, and my 70th birthday. I'm so glad I updated the back house it really made a difference.
